I completed a field placement after the completion of my post-graduate accelerated law clerk program, and the staff members at the office were all so friendly and helpful in every way possible. I has nothing short of a super positive experience

I learned a second language, legal terminology, processes and procedures through my work with the Ministry. Management was eager to create learning opportunities through job shadowing and allowing staff to attend training. The most enjoyable part of the job was assisting the general public and meeting their needs.

I work in the courtroom recording the proceedings held in court that day. The hardest part of the job is hearing witnesses testifying about child abuse or animal abuse or anything unjustly done. I have learned that people still lie even though they are swearing on a Bible not to do so. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing justice done.

Great experience to the legal field but since I am unclassified, I do not get benefits. The environment is very pleasant. Every day is different. The most enjoyable part of the job is that you get to meet new people on a daily basis.

Workdays are usually rather pleasant, the cultural environment is amazing.

There are various opportunities to learn a verity of legal and administrative procedures.

Management is in general very lacking, even though on an individual level any management position holder is rather professional and courteous along with being well aware of their work. But somehow, when global management system fails.

The hardest part of the work is it being very inconsistent, providing an employee with varying hours that leave very little room for life planning.

A toxic workplace with weak or no leadership and a union more interested in handing out swag than doing any actual work on behalf of members. There is little hope of actually advancing to anything significant and even if you do you won't be paid much more. Management cares more about having seats filled than with job satisfaction or health and wellness. Ministry will spend thousands of dollars on new chairs before they will offer living wages.

Always on edge. Rotating shifts that varied in length from eight to twelve hours. Management thrived on individuals telling on others. Hardest part of job was not being sure if you could trust your co- workers if you were in a situation with inmates that would require assistance. Surviving a shift was the highlight of the day.

File Clerk (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 24 August 2016

A typical day at work depending on your position is you come in go to your desk and start your work. going through your files on your desk, which might include calling clients to obtain missing info & summarizing their file to submit to the director for approval. sometimes u have workshops. u can take lunch whenever u want. Co-workers are wonderful and helpful. My favorite job to work

A typical day at work would be stressful, lots of paperwork to complete in a timely fashion. This job is not for someone who can't deal with significant stress. Usually had a good relationship with everyone, I felt thankful to have an excellent paying job with benefits. I learned even more about being meticulously organized and working as a team, with someone else in an extremely busy court. My listening skills were sharpened because the paperwork had to be accurate before the Justice would sign, thus making it an order. The most enjoyable part of my job was the people I assisted in so many different ways. I always felt elated when I could change a feeling of despair, into a grateful smile. As for management in a bureaucracy, the very nature of the word tells the story.

Having the opportunity to participate in field placement at two locations of the Ministry of the Attorney General - the Durham Region Courthouse and Old City Hall - allowed me to gain real insight into how the court system works in Ontario.

A typical day involved alts of filing, e-mailing and talking with clients regarding their files. Also lots of making packages for Lawyers, Judges and Attorneys. The hardest part of the job was when clients put the files in the wrong place. The most enjoyable part of my job was dealing with the Lawyers, Judges and Attorneys.

This was an excellent environment to work in. Although I was only employed here for 6 months for work experience, it was an amazing 6 months spent with some of the most friendly people. Work was repetitive, and a little tedious at times. The hardest part was everyday decisions, as I wasn't trained on how to deal with some issues in the workplace. Overall, great place to work at.
